Clinical Internship 4
During trimester 9, students have the
opportunity to complete graduation requirements while serving
as
interns in a variety of
settings. Some interns provide service to the public in one of
Northwestern’s
teaching clinics. Others complete their internships in the offices
of private practice doctors of chiropractic located around
the metropolitan
Twin Cities area. Students have the ability to transfer from
a Northwestern Campus clinic in trimester 8 to a Community
Based Internship (CBI) clinic in trimester 9 (or vice
versa.)
Northwestern’s public teaching clinics provide
a rich experience for the intern in caring for patients
who are suffering
from a great variety of health problems. The number and diversity
of patient populations of the public clinics are a unique
strength
of the University. Also, the student/faculty ratio is small enough
to allow for close faculty guidance in developing clinical
skills.

Community Based Internship (CBI)
This program, a Northwestern innovation, is based on a mentor model
for clinical training. It serves as a learning opportunity for students
prior to entering the T-10 associateship program. Approximately
150 Minnesota doctors of chiropractic participate as clinical educators.
T9 Clinic Rotations
The promotion of integrated and collaborative natural and
conventional medical care is a unique objective of Northwestern.
As a complement to their primary clinical experience, students
observe the clinical practices of chiropractors and other
health care professionals as well as attending seminars on
insurance and risk management, business management, and sleep
hygiene. Through participation in this program, students come
to better understand the rationale for different approaches
to care, are exposed to a wider range of patient conditions,
understand the means for patient management through consultations
and referrals, and have the opportunity to network with specialists.
